Update: I failed out of my college program. I am now on probation. If I want to try my program again I have to apply again. My GPA dropped significantly. I have to take a blood banking class to even be considered when I apply again. I’m so lost and confused right now. I don’t even know if applying in the fall will be worth it at this point. I’m going to try to take the blood bank class if it’s offered anywhere. UC Berkeley isn’t offering it in the spring. I’m waiting to see if the community college near me is offering it in the spring. If I can’t take it in the spring then I won’t get to try again until fall 2021. I’m not even promised a spot that’s what sucks. I blew my one chance and now I don’t know what the heck will happen. Blackboard lied I was two points away from passing apparently... that doesn’t matter I guess. The whole semester blackboard hasn’t be accurate and told me something not even close to my actual grade.
